That is our larger destiny: to allow the Earth to organize in a new way, in a manner impossible all the billions of years prior to humanity

Four billion years ago the planet Earth was molten rock; now it sings opera!

The proper condition of the human is not bovine placidity... the highest degree of tension that can be creatively borne.

By pursuing your allurements, you help bind the universe together. The unity of the world rests on the pursuit of passion.

The universe shivers with wonder in the depths of the human.

That is our larger destiny: to allow the Earth to organize in a new way, in a manner impossible all the billions of years prior to humanity

All professions, all work, all activity in the human world finds its essential meaning in the context of a people's cosmic story.
